I know, especially with how much more proactive he is in the live action, some people think that Iroh was too complicit with Zuko and should have put more effort into pushing Zuko down the right path.

But I don’t know I think the point was that it had to come from Zuko. This great change had to be something that Zuko wanted for himself and not something Iroh pushes him into. It’s why although he tries to distract or dissuade him subtly he’s pretty content to let Zuko do as he feels the need to (except when he’s taking insane actions that would have killed him if he wasn’t too spiteful to die) but yeah there’s no obvious push to get Zuko to believe this or that or even to undo the fire nation conditioning he simply just worries for his safety and honestly with how reckless zuko was probably the safest route without pushing him into full mental breakdown.

It’s not till he’s almost captured and they go on the run do you actually start to see that maybe Iroh has a side in all this and it’s not the fire nation. But even then being on Zuko’s side takes precedent. It’s not until Zuko is on the cusp of real change, he’s right on the precipice does Iroh start to push a little harder but even then it’s focused in Zuko making a decision for his life one that nobody else can make for him. The closest Iroh gets to forcefully pushing Zuko towards any direction is him yelling “It's time for you to look *inward* and begin asking yourself the big questions. Who are you and what do *you* want?”. And then siding with the avatar during the fall of ba sing se.

If Iroh tried to manipulate him, take advantage of this scared angry child to unconsciously steer him towards his own side then he’d be no better than the fire nation, he’s just be another person wrenching control from Zuko life. But instead Iroh offers him that control, let him go out and see what the world is and let the conclusions of whatever he finds be the foundation on which he is rebuilt again and and again. It’s why when he stands infront of Ozai and says “ No, I’ve learned everything! And I’ve had to learn it on my own” we feel that shit. Because yeah he did he struggled and he fought and he learned and damn it all, he is making a choice for himself.

The story works because Iroh isn’t his mentor, he’s his uncle and he loves him enough to push aside his own personal belief to allow Zuko the space to decide who he wants to be, to give him the agency over his own life. That’s why Zuko’s redemption works so well because he’s not forced into it, If he decides to join the avatar to take down the thrown that has been his choice. If he decides to stay with the fire nation be the prince he was born to be….well that had to be his choice as well. Because that’s the crux of this. None of it matters if it isn’t Zuko, with everything that he has learned, making a decision for his own life.

man, I love A Link Between Worlds... sometimes I remember it, its hyper-competent yet humble design and storytelling proposal, and I genuinely think that makes it among my favorite Zelda games ;;

I hate the term "walking simulator", because people use it for literally anything that isn't open world and/or doesn't have branching options (or enough action for their liking).

Sometimes not giving the player free reign to wander aimlessly or branching options is the best way to tell the story they want to tell. It controls pacing.

Guided/Linear games can be incredibly moving and beautiful, and when people call it a "walking simulator" it really diminishes all that work to create the environments and story beats and characters and atmosphere

do you ever find yourself jealous of other writers or even your own moots when you see their works doing great and yours aren't. if so how do you deal with that? since I hate feeling that way especially when its technically over something so trivial... ive been seeing ur posts about not getting that many notes on particular fics and I relate heavy.

hi my love! yes, all the time 😭 personally i think it’s inevitable to feel that way. the mind is a shitty thing sometimes and sometimes the way it attacks u is pretty crap so unfortunately i cant do much about that. i usually just spiral tbh and sulk a little and write things that bring me comfort in the mean time (mostly fluffy gojo lolol) but im usually ok after a few hours. im still trying to tell myself it’s a valid way to feel and that it’s perfectly fine to feel less than when interactions are so obvious on posts but a few hours later i’m usually okay. this isn’t a really good guide but i hope u feel ok in regards to getting love on fics because as hard as it is to hear sometimes the quality of your writing really doesn’t dictate your skill. it’s unfortunate that sometimes the work we do is not received well :")

Just read a description of Stefania's language that I really like: "Zahorska uses impeccable Polish, somewhat antiquated [lit. "old-worldly"], but never lapsing into the archaic. Her prose is precise, rich, and expressive"

so the whole garfield kart guide saga is still ongoing, i got some feedback from a mod about changes to make to it in terms of structure and layout n stuff which is fine, and ive edited the parts i understand...... but theres some feedback theyve given that makes no sense??

like, they said i need to go thru and seperate paragraphs so stuff doesnt look clumped together, but the sections they specifically reference Dont have this problem so idk what theyre refering to. like its literally a bulletpointed list

and also some of my descriptions are too "list like" and not descriptive enough, but i rly dont know how im supposed to expand on "to get the trophy for finishing any race..... you must finish any race" LIKE?? KINDA SPEAKS FOR ITSELF GUYS IDK WHAT U WANT FROM ME, FEELS LIKE IM TRYIN TO MEET A WORD COUNT FOR AN ESSAY

SO. Was anyone gonna tell me about the fact that there's an entire manga series dedicated to teaching science concepts or were you all waiting to surprise me? Because it worked. Wtf.

oh the crm attacking the survivors passing through the city (I've been informed that apparently it was confirmed in another show that they were the ones who attacked that other city in the alliance and then lied about the cause of the city's fall), the confirmation that there is something in rick that michonne does not recognise, michonne following rick back to the city and lying about who she is so that she may be with rick, jadis being revealed and her confrontation with rick showing us that okafor was absolutely was someone with good intent and was never going to act as an o'brien to rick's winston, because that's who jadis is going to be...I am afraid for our dear zombie slayers.

I would highly urge anyone who is watching the ones who live to read orwell's 1984, if you have not before. this show seems to be pulling a lot of inspiration from that book, meaning this story has the potential to get very interesting! but also very, very ugly.
